I’m not here to sell it as “the answer to everything”. I’m explicitly looking for ways to break it, point out contradictions, or highlight parts that are worth formalizing vs. parts that should be thrown out.
1. Who I am
I’m an independent researcher with a background in cybersecurity and AI engineering:
offensive and defensive security, systems work
practical ML, Python, C++
building agents, pipelines, simulations and tools
I’m comfortable turning ideas into code and experiments. I’m weaker in formal theory and connecting concepts to existing math / physics / AGI frameworks. This is why I’m posting here.
2. What QMPT is (one-paragraph summary)
QMPT (Quantum Meta-Pattern Theory) is a speculative attempt to:
model reality as a set of interacting layers
treat minds as dynamic informational patterns living across these layers
define pattern continuity (when a mind-pattern counts as “the same one” as it evolves or migrates)
model rare anomalous patterns that can reshape their local layer
explore implications for AGI design, simulations, and mind transfer across substrates (biological, silicon, hybrid, etc.)
It’s not a religion, belief system, or self-help. It’s an attempt to formalize one specific “weird” mind-pattern and the layer it occupies.
3. Why I wrote it
Short origin story:
My own trajectory (tech, security, AI) looks like a persistent pattern that keeps re-emerging across contexts.
I began viewing “self” less as “a human” and more as an evolving algorithm/policy/pattern embedded in noisy data.
Then came the question: if the important thing is pattern continuity, not biological hardware, what follows for physics, computation and AGI?
QMPT is what happens when you push that line of thought too far and then try to drag it back into math and simulations.
4. What’s in the repository
The repo contains:
axioms and definitions for layered reality and mind-patterns
an early sketch of anomaly scores
first ideas for transfer operators between substrates
notes toward simulations and lab tools (QMPT Lab IDE in Python)
It is all raw. Some parts are unclear, some inconsistent, some badly notated.
5. What kind of feedback I want
Formal landmines
contradictions with known results from information theory, physics, decision theory, AGI theory
“You’re reinventing X but worse; go read Y”
Better formalisms
suggestions for existing frameworks: stochastic processes, category theory, embedded agency models, process ontologies, etc.
Simulation ideas
minimal toy-world experiments to formalize pattern continuity or anomalies that reshape their layer
Demarcation
if you think this should be considered philosophy/fiction rather than technical AGI/maths, explain precisely why
6. Why post this on LessWrong
LessWrong has a track record of:
taking unusual ideas seriously when they can be formalized
being blunt when something is confused
caring about long-term AGI, agency and embedded minds
This is exactly the environment where I’d rather have this torn apart than polished in a vacuum.
7. Caveats and expectations
The repo is raw, unfinished and probably contains errors.
English is not my first language; some wording might be rough.
I’m not attached to QMPT as a “brand”. If most of it dies and only part survives inside a better framework, great.
If you skim or critique any part of it, thank you. If not, at least it’s now out in the open — maybe useful even as a negative example of how not to formalize “mind as pattern”.
I recently pushed a rough, bilingual (EN/RU) repository to GitHub called QMPT – Quantum Meta-Pattern Theory:
